Shakedown Street
Lately I have been up late at night while our baby cries for
"da breasteses" So excuse my nonsense...however I was wondering
what your favorite trail and/or path to negotiate around camp
was? I have many favorites, but the best heart racer was
hauling ass down the main road from Shawnee past the mail shack
in the pitch of night...imagining that some Ed Geinesque like
crazed axe wielding lunatic (morph images of: Rosy, Callahan,
and a tinge of "Goldy" with a trot reminiscent of Schiller
(torpor)..my heart beating eyes wide open while desperately
trying to find a timber mate and/or a light! Going back was
just as bad...for me!

Timber Trails
I always liked the trail between Sioux and Hawk and past the
back of Winnebago to the duplex ...Used to know where every
root was by heart, even when I was totally choneyed at
night!

More trails
Here are my favorites... 1) The back of the lodge and Seminole
cabin (thru the woods) 2) The main trail to the rifle range
(Archery Area to Rifle Range) 3) Trail from central area to
Hawk cabin (since I was in Hawk for 6 years) 4) Trail above
canoe shed to the lake (commonly known as Cary Dorf's fall)--I
have a feeling most of us know every root of trails that take
you through camp and not through the central area (just a
guess)

Trailzzz~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was always a bit curious about the trail near Shawnee that
led to a heap of plywood, mattress's, chairs, card table,
scattered playing cards and assorted trash beyond the boundries
of the paper pick up areas. Maybe
Garten, Kaufman,
Gorchoff, Goodman, Meissner or Minkin might have a
clue.

Roots, The sequel
Moss is correct about how well we knew those roots and had
every one etched into our memories. I was always somewhat
impressed how most of us could negotiate those trails in the
dark of night at a rather fast rate of speed, I might add,
dodging the roots, low-slung branches and the beam of an AD's
flashlight.
Speaking of roots, how about that big ol' knot right in the
middle of the trail in front of Winnebago? I believe every
first year camper just about killed himself on it, and then
never forgot its location from that point on.

STRONG RUMOR....... It is through my sources stationed around
the world that is reporting that an automobile with Mark
Faiwell, Steve Safer and Norm Wolf will be attending the
reunion this year. We can only hope that Faiwell is driving as
I would like to buy him a tank of gas. It's the least we can do
(to pay him back) and with todays prices, it just about breaks
even for the 8 weeks of free gas that we consumed during the
summer when Mark was owner. As a counselor, probably one of the
best summers ever....I would assume most of you would agree
(who were counselors that year)

Has any one heard from Daryl Beadle. He left an indelible mark
in his 3 years at camp. Also Mark and Mike Pearlstein. One of
Lorch's friends who taught scuba for a few years Dennis
Silverstein wound up as a photographer for Hustler and a few
other magazines. Finally, there was once a guy named Greg
Brenner, also a scuba instructor, I believe. He once went on a
day off and didn't return for 3 days. He'd been kidnapped by
some women as best I recall. In any event, if any of you know
the whereabout of these gents, put a bug in their ear about the
reunion. See ya in a couple months. Lee

To Change the Subject
For those interested, I met up with John Therese in NYC last
week. John was a counselor for one summer (1983?). He said the
Brothers Pierce had been by awhile back, and had put the bug in
his ear regarding reunion. Maybe he'll show up. John just
entered the digital age. I gave him the URL for the site, so he
probably will be dropping in some time. By the way, as I
remember JMoss wasn't wearing a shirt and was drenched in sweat
and RMoss was wearing my Garcia Corn Flakes shirt. Or maybe
that was at Alpine.(Just kidding Rick, don't get your blood

used to be somewhat of a "shooting gallery" when I was there
last (12 years ago or so) and is now upscale and gentrified (go
figure). Much of our discussion was on the insanity of the
housing markets in the SF Bay Area and NYC. I'm not sure if the
term "hippie" is very appropriate. If every Deadhead with a run
down car who rolled into camp could be termed a "hippie" then
basically we had a staff full of them and John probably wasn't
the most "major".

Raskin' for it Again
I think you miss the point Professor Raskin. I take issue with
your term 'hippie', especially when applied to the mid-1980's.
This is probably due to years of the naive referring to anyone
that followed the Gratetful Dead as being a 'hippie'. Though I
realize you are a history professor, the tone that you
sometimes take implies that you see yourself as
Timber-historian for the board. Anyhow, the board's all in good
fun and there is no point in getting touchy about things. I was
basically standing up for a friend who might feel adverse to
being typecasted.

Did this really happen like this?
H writes in the August '71 newsletter...."Here's something
cute---last Thursday evening we had a social with Chippewa
Ranch Camp, and our younger boys went to the other camp. Young
Wally Posner was kind of shy during the first couple of dances
but by the third dance he had set his eye on a young damsel
with golden hair. He set out to ask her for a dance but was
accosted by one of the older boys from our camp who told him
that this gal was going to be his personal property. Wally
didnÍt say anything, but got Norm Wolf to call the boys
name on the P.A. (Public Address System) with the announcement
that there was an important call for the boy. When the older
boy went to see Norm about the message, our young gallant,
Wally, moved in on the girl and took over. When the other boy
came back, Wally and his girl were occupied for the rest of the
evening. I predict that Wally will someday be a whiz in the
business field." Does anyone remember this? I want to hear
more...

In a Fog in the Bog
My fondest memories are in a canoe in "the bog," on a foggy
night with the frogs croaking and the loons singing. It was
truly eerie and just weird enough!

Steamrollin' on the Pontoon
Steamrolling while watchin' the Northern's on the Pontoon boat
was about as good as it gets (JP will remember).

Always with Joey...The KING.
Inside the U-Haul, full of trunks, with the rear door closed
(session change) and then napping with Joey for a couple hours
on the floor of the newly-built, air-conditioned Rhinelanderhey
airport.(Had to wake Joey up when the flight from O'Hare
arrived). Enjoying a canoe rendezvous, followed up with a
bottle of Jones with Bill Rom at Rice Creek wasn't bad either
('cept for the power-boot session I had). But the most
enjoyable "spree" was with my great pal, Maury Hecht for (10)
days in 1980--we took out a fricken' Canadian!!! (THAT still
eats at Joey to this very day). Maury was a great cook & a
staunch believer in rigorous hyperventilation during our
trip.

Does anybody remember an incredible Northern Light Show, and
sleeping on the beach at the Porkies...Peter I wanna say you
were there. Definitely the trippiest sky I've ever seen! I'm
pretty sure it was real too!

I don't remember the light show at the Porkies, but I do
remember waking up to Wally Posner barfing dry-pack spaghetti
all over me ...Now THAT was trippy.

Posner=Gast??????
I never knew Wally Posner, but from the sounds of him, I'm
wondering how he beat out David Gast for the memorial
honor.

In Answer to Red...
Unlike Gast, Wally Posner was a fast runner. But the most
infamous Wally Posner story concerns the final campfire of
1972. In order to flame the damp logs, someone (who shall go
unnamed) poured gasoline on them. When a match was thrown in,
flames shot 30 feet in all directions, scortching Wally quite
badly. His arms and legs were bandaged for weeks. On second
thought, he wasn't THAT fast.

Dry Pack Boot
Gazzoo, I was in the tent with you, and totally remember the
dry pack spaghetti boot. Could never touch the stuff after
that!

I was sitting behind Wally when the flames flared out engulfing
me as well, as a result, I had a blister on my ankle the size
of Nano's matzo balls-- we narrowly esacaped some real trauma!
Who started gas dousing camp fires aka the one match bandit
anyway? Hey JayMoss amazing call on the Superior Northerns, yes
I was there!!! I will never forget as we layed on the cold
Superior sand in the middle of the night, bedazzled by the
techno-color brillance of mother nature! I don't think Mr.
Tonyee could achieve that- IT WAS REAL JayMoss! Go Sammy!

Now That's a Fire! (E. Murphy)
I remember the unnamed person who doused gas on the campfires
(BTW: This happened more than once) always had a lit butt in
his mouth while he filled a Folgers Coffee can from the pump
before taking it to the campfire pit and pouring the whole
thing on the logs.
A very entertaining show indeed.

I just got a copy of the new PEOPLE magazine issue featuring
America's 100 most eligible bachelors, and try as I might I
can't find Pud, Bosco, or the Pierce brothers. What a rip-off!
But it was good to see Meadow up there at #37.
